Abstract

This study aimed to predict marital disaffection (boredom) based on marital conflict and attachment (secure, avoidant and anxious) styles. This study was a descriptive research of correlational type. The study population included all married students studying in Islamic Azad University of Ahvaz in 2016. By multistage sampling method, 200 students were selected and included in the study with informed consent. For data collection, the participants answered the inventories of Kayser Marital Disaffection Scale, Collins and Reid Adult Attachment Styles and Sanaee Revised Marital Conflict Scale. The data were analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis approach. The findings of this study showed that marital conflict positively and significantly predicts marital disaffection. Among the styles of attachment, avoidant and anxious attachment styles positively and significantly can predict marital disaffection, while secure attachment style is a negative and significant predictor of marital disaffection.
